DBE: The Bible in a Year - a Collective Worship Resource

Collective Worship can be a wonderful time of stillness, reflection and calm in a busy day. A key part of worship is learning from the Bible and hearing the stories that it contains. These stories are central
to the Christian faith and are how Christians begin to understand who God is and what he is like. However, often the stories that we tell can seem a little disjointed and out of place. This in turn may
give children a false reflection of how the events of the Bible fit together.

This resource has been created to support Collective Worship by taking pupils on a chronological tour of key stories of the Bible. Using the themes from the Big Frieze in Understanding Christianity, this resource enables Collective Worship to be relevant, meaningful and shows how everything fits together.

Each Collective Worship session contains; a Bible reading, a summary of the key learning from the story, a link to school values, a reflection, suggestions for linking the story to the world and suggestions for introducing Christianity as a globally diverse faith.

This resource is only available to schools who attend training.

In this course we will:

• explore key concepts of the Bible
• explore the resource and how it fits into a yearly plan for collective worship
• look at how to plan Collective Worship using the resource.
